It was an absolutely incredible day one of Electric Daisy Carnival New York. With a massive crowd gathering in and around MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, artists, producers, and fans alike gathered in what was an iconic way to kick off Memorial Day Weekend. Minus some setbacks, (including a delay on the festival due to a passing storm) Electric Daisy Carnival Day One did not disappoint. So, with the help of Razberry Photography, we put together the ten iconic shots from Saturday's festivities. Check out the full set of photos featuring Hardwell, Daily Beat's own Ashlyn Fulton, Yasmine from Krewlla and more below!

10. Yasmine Sings Her Voice Out During Krewella's Set

9. Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano Keep The Crowd Hyped Up

unnamed"The New York crowd is getting bigger and better," explains Sunnery.​ This is their third ​​ ​EDC NY, and although it may have not been the biggest so far, "It feels like home," Ryan states. Showing up just 10 minutes before their scheduled start time, they used the first 15 minutes to test the crowd, and as you can tell by this shot, it turned out to be an utter success.

7. Destructo & His Pineapples

During the Hard Summer video shoot, Richards was originally wearing a Bloody Mary on his head. But, after complications shooting the basketball, ended up with a pineapple and it stuck with him ever since.

6. MetLife Stadium Under The Electric Sky

This immaculate, glowing flower lines the stage structures, flows in almost every girl's hair, and travels to each EDC, acting as the sun of the electronic sky.

5. Ferris Wheel: The Epitome Of A Carnival

cYzoFbga5b4lheU1sBM8D30WrU1RqSqIbt-uORGxXgnAQ8KMGHZ0efvoGdQPl4pioQ=w1150-h453The Ferris Wheel has to be the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word "carnival." So, it's no surprise that this classic ride sits on the grounds of every EDC, generating one of the longest lines to board. This year it was situated in front of the Circuit Grounds stage which held such sets as Cash Cash, Alvaro, Calvin Harris, and Steve Angello, who I enjoyed from the tip-top of the festival.

4. Hardwell Soars In The Insomniac Owl

Hardwell kept the energy high as he played from within the iconic Insomniac owl.

3. The Crowd Doesn't Let The Storm Kill Their Spirits

For about 45 minutes, all stages were shut down for safety precautions and everyone was told to take cover. Soaked festival-goers scurried around the grounds until the storm passed, where the skies cleared and it was an even more beautiful day than before. The party resumed and the good vibes continued!

2. The Night Evokes An Entirely New Energy

Smoke, lasers, and fireworks illuminate the night sky eliciting euphoric vibes enough to send anyone into a state of natural high. So, this is what they mean by "Under the electric sky."

1. Owl Eyes, Fireworks & Krewella Ignite Kinetic Field

They highlight the stage behind Krewella as fireworks explode in the background, making this one of the most unforgettable moments of night one.
